Kaercher: Elkader's history is written in its building and structures. The people of Elkader treasure their past, but their history works for today and tomorrow too.
The 1860s courthouse is still the county courthouse. The keystone bridge still links it with the business side of town. Built in 1889, it's known as the longest of its type west of the Mississippi. The 1890 building that became home to a cinema in 1941 and closed in the 1990s is showing movies again and selling DVDs.
Still, the recently restored 1903 opera house is the jewel in the crown, home to the city's offices in the basement, and a wonderful theater above it. With just a piano, the Opera House Players rehearse some of their fall musical for us, "The Baker's Wife." The ground floor level of this marvelous structure was a firehouse in one incarnation. But a combination of grants, donations, and a lot of volunteer sweat equity renovated it.
The new/old opera house opened in 2003 and is a regional center for the performing arts.
Chandler: The people who patronize it, the people who do things on stage being, the people who have helped restore it are really from a wide area.
Kaercher: Elkader is experiencing a sort of rejuvenation, and some of its new energy comes from outside the community.
In this old building, they make artistic lighting fixtures sold all over the world. Fire Farm, as it's called, was started by a native Californian who fell in love with the town.
Pollock: I'd never been here before. My wife's family is from this town, but she had never been here either. She came back and rediscovered it.
Kaercher: Actually, Pollock's wife's mother hadn't been here for about fifty years either, but three generations moved back.
Pollock: The first thing we did when we visited was go and look at the public school system. They still had band. They still had shop. They still had all the programs that had been cut out of the school system in California.
Kaercher: Treats Etc., a coffee shop and cafe, is it run by another native Californian who fell in love with the town when she visited her former neighbors.
As to that Algerian connection, well, it's been updated too. In 1984 Elkader became a sister city to a town in Algeria named Mascara, birthplace of Elkader's namesake.
And in another old building on Main Street, an Algerian restaurant recently opened. We stopped by to try some authentic Algerian cuisine. The son of Algerian diplomat and a French mother, Frederique Boudouani discovered Elkader when he started researching the history of Islam in America after 9/11. His partner is from Iowa, and Frederique eventually found the Iowa town named for a Muslim leader.
Boudouani: It happened that the Muslim leader is from Algeria. He's the George Washington of Algeria. It was a big revelation for me. We looked it up on the map, and the next time we were in Iowa, we made a visit and kept coming back and making friends and here we are.
Kaercher: The restaurant called Schera's, short for Scherazade, and it also serves American food.
There are two historic buildings here that haven't joined the 21st century. They're museums, like the George Maier Rural Heritage Center. This old sale barn houses an amazing collection of artifacts that trace the history of rural living in the Midwest. And all this is only about half the collection of one man, George Maier.
Built in the 1850s, the Carter House Museum is named for the two brothers who first owned it. A duplex, each brother's family lived on one side of the 18-room Greek revival mansion. Today the homes offers a look at life at the turn of the last century.
If history is your passion, then you'll want to check out of the Osborne Nature Center south of town this weekend. Run by the Clayton County Conservation Board, the area where the Pioneer Village stands will be the site of the Center's 33rd annual Osborne Heritage Days weekend.
Mundt: That segment is worth the price of admission, just discovering a new part of Iowa. Well, Dan is going to join us from time to time just to bring us up to date and to add to his report. Dan, what do you have for us?
Kaercher: Well, that Osborne Heritage Days is a wonderful celebration going on in Elkader this weekend. You can visit the 1880 pioneer village. You can see a great nature center and then join in a chili cook-off, buffalo chip throwing, storytelling, pumpkin contest, you know, a classic Iowa event. I did want to mention that "The Baker's Wife" will be performed at the opera house this weekend, and Schera's will be open for Algerian food. And do check ahead first, but you can visit the two museums. We have a couple of events we're featuring on iptv.org, so check that out too in other parts of the state.
Mundt: And can you also go to traveliowa.com.
Kaercher: Absolutely.
Mundt: There's a full list of events there, so that's a good way to keep up. Dan, come back and talk with us again when you can stay a little bit longer.
Kaercher: You bet, Todd.

Interview time! I mean really - that's what this is all about. Its kinda like going to buy a car, getting a job etc. Check out all the options, see what catches your eye and then go from there. I guess if you have gotten this far, my photos have passed the visual check and now you need to make sure we have some things in common. I'm actually always open to meet people that have different interests than I do because it's always a great way to learn about/experience something new. But you're here to learn about me so here goes: - I work at a communications company managing digital advertising - The worst job I ever had was at pharmaceutical company - My friends and family would consider my best attribute to be there for them when it counts the most - I had my first crush at age 12 - My favorite subject in school growing up was history - My favorite sport is soccer I am looking for someone: -Outgoing -FUN -Who will go on trips and hikes around the world with me! -Who knows how to take care of themselves (physically and emotionally) I do it, why cant you? -Can cook (optional) :) -Knows how to party and chill! -Who has a sense of humor and can hold a conversation about anything! In my free time I enjoy watching movies, I just saw Live Die Repeat: Edge of Tomorrow, going to concerts or sporting events, and just hanging out with friends. Oh, I also really enjoy food and like to try new restaurants. My ideal date would be something fun! Bowling, arcade, laser tag, maybe a sporting event. Anything else you want to know I would be glad to tell you. I am an open book, ask me anything.

(AP) — The Arizona Diamondbacks haven't had many nights like this, and now's not the best time for their bats to turn quiet.
Tim Stauffer shut down Arizona into the seventh inning before leaving with arm stiffness and the last-place San Diego Padres beat the NL West-leading Diamondbacks 2-0 on Friday night.
It was just the fourth time the Diamondbacks have been shut out this season, a major league low. The Diamondbacks' lead over the defending World Series champion San Francisco Giants was trimmed to six games with 11 to play. The Giants won 9-1 at Colorado.
"There's not many times we've been shut out this year. It was just one of those nights," manager Kirk Gibson said. "It's just not ideal."
Arizona had won 18 of 22 since Aug. 23, and had beaten the Padres nine times in their previous 11 meetings. San Diego had lost 17 of 20 coming in. Each team had just five hits at spacious Petco Park.
Stauffer (9-12) won for the first time in five starts by holding Arizona to four hits in 6 2-3 innings. He struck out six and walked none.
Manager Bud Black and a trainer came out to check on Stauffer after he got Aaron Hill to fly out to center. The right-hander then came out of the game.
Stauffer was coming off a no-decision in the Padres' 6-5 loss in 10 innings at Arizona last Saturday, when closer Heath Bell allowed two homers in the ninth and Joe Thatcher walked in the winning run in the 10th.
He was strong from the start in this one, striking out five in the first two innings.
"I was able to change speeds and get ahead in the count, forcing them to swing the bat," Stauffer said. "I was really happy with the execution of my pitches and the results."
Stauffer "shut us down," Gibson said. "First of all, he was throwing strikes. Both sides of the plate, mostly on the outside part of the plate to righties. A little cutter, slider, threw some curveballs, changeups. Just pounding the zone. Always ahead in the count. We must have had over 10 ground balls. So obviously some movement on the ball. He threw a good game."
Bell pitched a perfect ninth to earn his 38th save in 43 chances and complete the five-hitter for San Diego's seventh shutout this year. By comparison, the Padres tied the franchise record with 20 shutouts in 2010.
The Padres gave Stauffer all the support he needed by scoring two runs on three straight hits off rookie lefty Wade Miley (3-2) with one out in the first. Jason Bartlett singled, advanced on a wild pitch and scored on Jesus Guzman's single to left-center. Nick Hundley doubled to move Guzman to third, and he scored after Gerardo Parra booted the ball in the left-field corner.
Miley (3-2) allowed two runs and five hits in six innings.
NOTES: Black said 3B James Darnell is probably out for the rest of the season after suffering a subluxation of his left shoulder while making a diving stop of Justin Upton's single leading off the seventh. ... San Diego 3B Chase Headley, on the disabled list since early August with a broken finger, is going to instructional camp in Arizona to get some at-bats. ... RHP Josh Collmenter (9-9, 3.40 ERA), who took a 7-6 loss to the Padres on Sunday, starts Saturday night's game against San Diego LHP Wade LeBlanc (3-5, 5.43 ERA). LeBlanc was the winner on Sunday. He's allowed four earned runs in each of his last four starts after allowing three or fewer runs in his first seven starts with the Padres this year.

Apple and Adobe, at it again…and Google moves on
The Apple iPhone's inability to display Adobe's flash technology has been a source of much controversy ever since the iPhone first conquered the market 3 years ago. While many have speculated either a software update to existing devices, or the introduction of Flash support to the next generation iPhone, few have considered that Apple would just not support Flash entirely moving into the future.

It turns out Sally will not have to stay in high school until 1975, because her mother isn't yet in the ground after all. Instead, Betty is having a passive-aggressive lunch with her old neighbor Francine Hanson, who is now an existential threat to Betty because she's a working mother. Their back-and-forth is comical, with Betty spitting barbs with a smile: "I thought [children] were the reward? I don't know, maybe I'm old-fashioned." Anyone with young children in 2014 has encountered the same chilly debate about mothers and their responsibilities versus their choices, and woe to the person who wanders into that discussion sure of their point of view.
But in a way, Francine inspires Betty. Not to work at her Wanderlust travel agency or some other employment, but to be the loving mother that someone who's never met her might mistake her for. Opportunity knocks immediately, with Bobby's class taking a field trip to a local farm where his crunchy, nip-slipping teacher grew up. Bobby is thrilled to have his mother's undivided attention, regaling her with details of his favorite monster movies as they ride the bus. At the farm, Betty plays the role she aspires to, bravely sipping freshly-tugged cow milk out of a bucket. But when Bobby trades away her sandwich to a pretty classmate for some candy, Mommie Dearest returns and gives Bobby the cold, silent treatment for the rest of the day. At home for dinner, she refuses to let up, explaining cryptically to Henry why she isn't eating: "I was hungry. Now, I'm not." Even later, she complains to Henry about the children, "Why don't they love me?" I look forward to Henry's reaction when Betty explains this drama was all about a sandwich.
On Don's trip home from California, I half expected to see Lee Cabot again, especially after Tricia the flirty flight attendant gave Mr. Draper the green light on the flight west. But the next time we see Don, he's accelerating his negotiations with Dave Wooster's agency -- because, of course, Don actually has to fix this aspect of his life now that his marriage is falling apart. "Clarence Birdseye" is on the line, and he's ready to stop dancing and get down to business with Dave, who comes to dinner with an offer. It's a significant offer -- and that doesn't include the pretty blonde at the Algonquin who invites Don to join her upstairs.
Don's tempted by the woman, just as he was tempted by Lee Cabot. But instead, he knocks on the hotel door of an old friend, Roger Sterling, and thrusts the rival-agency offer at him. Roger congratulates him, though he can't resist calling the job a demotion, and the two men argue like brothers. Don wants to know where Sterling stands. Should he take the job? Read between the lines: "Does SCP still want me?" "If you want to come back, come back, " Roger says sweetly, though perhaps he's stoned. "I miss you."
Awww. That's all Don needed to hear. On Monday, he returns to the office, eager to get back to work. Unfortunately, it's immediately clear that Roger was acting by the seat of his pants and hasn't informed anyone else at SCP that Don is coming back. Jim Cutler looks like he just saw a ghost. Lou Avery is in crisis mode, making 30-year-old Mr. Deeds Goes to Town references. So begins Don's day from hell, where Ginsberg tells him he smells good, Ken Cosgrove happily flashes baby pictures, and Joan and Peggy treat him like he's Herb from Jaguar and the CLIO jury, respectively.
While Roger is MIA, apparently at his early-early lunch, Don allows himself to get pulled into the writers' room, which really makes him seem like he was in the kids' room at some child-care center. Maybe I'd never noticed it before, but the low table and chairs in the room barely rise above their knees, and the walls are plastered with clips and rainbow art that your children might bring home. When Peggy finally comes in to confront him, dressed like the principal, and tells him flatly "I can't say we miss you," you can't help but feel that Don's neutering was complete. It was not.

Clovelly Golf Course is a hidden gem
Dan Nicholl
Founded by Raymond Ackerman, the Clovelly golf club was the first South African sports facility to break down apartheid's strict regulations in the 1970s. Today, it's better known as a short but challenging layout that's gentle in still conditions, but a fierce test when the wind gets up.

If tonight's UEFA Champions League game between Inter Milan and Chelsea was a dish, the cooking of it would be a steamy affair, and yet the dish itself would be somewhat bland.
For the first time since he left London's Stamford Bridge in September 2007 for the slightly warmer post at the San Siro in June 2008, "The Special One", as Inter coach Jose Mourinho is known, will come up against his old employers.

New Living Translation (NLT) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 The LORD asks, "Did I sell you as slaves to my creditors? Is that why you are not here? Is your mother gone because I divorced her and sent her away? No, you went away as captives because of your sins. And your mother, too, was taken because of your sins. | 1 This is what the LORD says: "Where is your mother's certificate of divorce with which I sent her away? Or to which of my creditors did I sell you? Because of your sins you were sold; because of your transgressions your mother was sent away. |

All of the daylilies I've ever had have been established ones, but this year I bought 13 new ones of my own.
As far as I know they don't need any special care in their first year, but could someone please confirm that I don't need to do anything for them for fall/winter? Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by oilpainter 3 (My Page) on Wed, Oct 13, 10 at 21:44
Daylilies are usually as tough as leather. I give mine no special care even if they are first year plants. I've never lost one yet |
- Posted by nutsaboutflowers 2b/3a (My Page) on Wed, Oct 13, 10 at 22:03
Thanks Oilpainter. That's the answer I was hoping for =:) |
- Posted by northspruce z3a MB CDA (My Page) on Thu, Oct 14, 10 at 8:48
Same here. :) |
It's good to mulch new plants or toss some leaves on them after the ground freezes. I usually fertilize my daylilies late in the summer to give them a little fuel for the winter. |
I have some daylilies in 1 gal. pots that I bought on sale ($3-5). Can I overwinter these in their pots just placed on the ground with some straw mulch around them? I don't have the garden space right now to sink all the pots in the ground. What do you think? I am in S. Ontario, zone 5b. Since I didn't pay very much for these, I won't be too concerned if they "croak" over the winter, but I am hoping the majority will survive, even just to donate to our local plant sale in May/2011. |

This is where the code starts - Most notably the new() line

Turf code, just in case (because it's edited to work with this)
turf |
Problem description:
Okay, so I'm re-writing LotB from the ground up. This is what I've done so far.
The code sorta works. The issue is, when you click a turf, it treats the turf that you were just on as dense. I don't know if the game is confusing my location or what. If I spam Start() (Which moves me to other locations), more and more turfs get this invisible density.

Illustration: "Shock and awe"
I am writing in response to two recent articles: "10 years after, Iraq waits for healing" (March 18) and "A Gun at 14, then a senseless killing" (March 17).
The "shock and awe" airstrikes that began the Iraq war 10 years ago today should shock us all. It is so easy for us not to let the numbers affect us — just because it is a number.
Monday's article stated that nearly 4,500 Americans and more than 100,000 Iraqis have been killed in the war. Those numbers deserve repeating, and the effect they should have on all of us is shock and awe. The article in Sunday's paper should have the same effect.
In America, 2,000 teens die per year from gun homicide — the equivalent of 100 Newtowns. Is it because these killings happen one at a time that we are not shocked? Our response to these numbers should be shock, awe and outrage.

Primitive Radio Gods
- The band is best known for their 1996 hit "Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth with Money in My Hand."
- The history of the Primitive Radio Gods begins with the I-Rails. Formed in the late 1980s, the I-Rails were an alternative independent rock band based in Oxnard, California.
- Consisting of three members; bassist/singer Chris O'Connor, guitarist Jeff Sparks (a childhood friend of O'Connor), and drummer Tim Lauterio; the I-Rails released a total of four albums, none of which received much public attention. After the fourth album, Panharmonium, was released in 1990 and similarly ignored, the band decided to separate. While Sparks and Lauterio went on to pursue other potential careers, O'Connor continued to work with material originally intended for a fifth I-Rails album. Inspired by bands such as Public Enemy, O'Connor recorded additional material and ultimately mixed a total of ten tracks on a broken-down 1969 Ampex 16-track tape deck on a budget of $1,000. After mastering, O'Connor released the demo to public music stations under the (misspelled) moniker "Primative Radio Gods", a song on the I-Rails album Nine Songs from Nowhere. Like his former band's works, O'Connor's Rocket, as the album came to be called, was widely disregarded by both radio and the general public. Defeated, O'Connor retired from the music business and utilized his Navy training to pursue a job as an air traffic controller at Los Angeles International Airport. The remaining copies of Rocket were put into storage, where they would remain for several years.
- While housecleaning in 1994, O'Connor rediscovered the box of demo tapes he had packed away years prior. In a final act of desperation, he mailed copies of the tape to any major record label he could think of. Weeks later, he received a call from an executive named Jonathan Daniel from the New York offices of Fiction Records. One unique song in particular had caught Daniel's attention: "Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth with Money in My Hand", a piano-driven ballad over a hip-hop backbeat, which heavily sampled B. B. King's "How Blue Can You Get?". Daniel immediately signed O'Connor to a publishing deal, and took him to Columbia Records for a recording deal. "Phone Booth" first appeared on the soundtrack to the Jim Carrey dark comedy film The Cable Guy in May 1996, and a slightly remastered Rocket was released the following month. "Phone Booth" was released to radio as the Primitive Radio Gods' first single, and was remarkably successful in both the UK and U.S. markets. Due to the single's success, Rocket was certified gold.

Oil painting by William Duffy
Gallery owner J. Russell Jinishian recalls seeing his first William Duffy work. "Just a small, quiet, unassuming painting of lobster traps piled next to an old shack." But at second glance, "there was a light and atmosphere that kept drawing us back again and again."
I'd dreamed of cruising under sail since Irving Johnson's voyages aboard Yankee captivated me as a child. By 1971 my husband, George Maynard, and I — both Illinois-raised landlubbers — realized the only way we could afford similar exploits was in a sailboat we built ourselves.
We built an engineless wooden reproduction of Joshua Slocum's yawl Spray in our Noank, Conn., back yard and sailed Scud around the world with our three children on a five-year voyage.
Oracle Team USA sailed "low and fast" in eight consecutive races to foil New Zealand's America's Cup dream
The 34th America's Cup was supposed to be the most spectacular ever. It almost went down in Cup history as the biggest bomb ever. Instead it will rank as one of sports' most improbable comebacks: Oracle Team USA fights back from an 8-1 deficit to snatch the Auld Mug from Emirates Team New Zealand, 9-8.
I was in San Francisco for the first week of the America's Cup doing a fair amount of corporate entertainment. Running back and forth from Pier 27 to the Marina Green, to Crissy Field, the top of the Transamerica building, St. Francis Yacht Club and out on the water, I saw the racing from many vantage points.
Incredibly, they were all great, proving that San Francisco is truly an amphitheater for sailing.
The 34th America's Cup in San Francisco was certainly exciting to watch. The two high-tech catamarans competing at speeds often in excess of 40 knots were close enough in performance to make it a very tight match. The script could not have been written any better, with Oracle down 8-1 and staging a comeback to beat the Kiwis in the last and deciding race for a 9-8 series win.

Patrick-Murray Administration Simplifies MassWorks Grant Application Process for Communities
New online application, tutorials designed to get communities ready for September 1 MassWorks funding round
"The MassWorks Infrastructure Program is a great example of a streamlined program our administration has created to increase the effectiveness and efficiency in the delivery of services," said Lieutenant Governor Murray. "The former process required cities and towns to submit multiple applications in hopes of identifying support for infrastructure improvement projects. MassWorks now allows municipalities to apply through one application that can lead to reduced costs for cities and towns, increased access to the most strategic investments and new jobs that will benefit both communities and the Commonwealth."
"The whole idea behind MassWorks is making it easier and less costly for communities to access state infrastructure funds, so that we can put more people to work building a better, stronger Commonwealth," said Secretary Bialecki. "By bringing all of our grant programs into one shop, and putting the application online, we can make government more efficient, effective and accountable."
"MassWorks smoothes the road between municipal ideas and economic development, saving public time and money in the quest for good infrastructure, good development and a good economy." said Buzz Constable, a developer and President of the Massachusetts Association of Regional Planning Agencies (MARPA).
Last month, Governor Deval Patrick filed legislation to consolidate six capital budget programs administered across three different agencies into the MassWorks Infrastructure Program. HED will oversee the program, giving communities a single entry point and one set of requirements for state public infrastructure grants, rather than requiring them to expend resources "shopping around" different agencies at different times to gain support for their projects. The program will provide infrastructure grants for market rate and affordable housing development projects; transportation improvements to enhance safety in small and rural communities; community revitalization and sustainable development; and economic development and job creation.
HED's "Lunch and Learns" will advise local officials on using the online application and will take place:
- Thursday, August 11;
- Friday, August 12;
- Tuesday, August 16;
- Thursday, August 18;
- Monday, August 22;
- Wednesday, August 24; and
- Friday, August 26

Focus on Data to Boost a Momentum Strategy
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Momentum has been the modus operandi in this market, prompted by a five-year bull run, an emergence from a recession, record low interest rates and quantitative easing. With the onset of tapering, threats of higher interest rates looming and massive gains since the 2009 market bottom, momentum will decline as a strategy. No longer will high-beta stocks be given a free pass after earnings misses. No longer will all stocks fly together, hitting new highs on a daily basis.
Fundamentals will begin to matter again. Stock picks will need to be right, not just ride along with the crowd. And sell-side analysts will no longer be applauded for upgrades that require very little useful information other than the fact that momentum is in play. This will separate investors who have outperformed by simply riding the trend vs. those who capitalize on both better data and momentum.
So which companies will have the edge? And how can we figure that out?
It's been more than five years since momentum has taken a backseat to analysis and stock-picking. Since that time, new laws have been created to strengthen the Chinese walls that are meant to separate analysts from those who pay their salaries. Typical sell-side analysts may make recommendations with good intentions, but as humans they are subject to influence by employers, companies and clients. With these inherent biases still present among analysts, their performance (or lack thereof), may become apparent when picking the right stocks becomes more important.
I turned to new technology and new financial start-ups in my search for a new, data-driven approach. And I came across a report from the Aite Group highlighting innovative financial technology startups for 2014. Tangent Data Services is one such start-up. Tangent compiles and analyzes anonymous data on a large number of North American-based emails containing transactional information from more than 400 e-businesses, including Netflix (NFLX), Groupon (GRPN), LinkedIn (LNKD), Amazon (AMZN), Vistaprint (VPRT) and OpenTable (OPEN). Tangent's Founder and CEO Daniel Goldberg provided samples of data available prior to Q1 earnings. So as not to cherry pick, he allowed me to choose as many names as I wanted from all the companies he currently covers. I chose 10. The data was impressive. Below I have highlighted Netflix, Groupon and Vistaprint as examples. All three are household names with heavy institutional ownership. All moved dramatically after reporting earnings. The following charts show the quality of Tangent's data.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Televangelist Pat Robertson has said some pretty ridonkulous things. But recently, he topped even himself when, during a conversation about a bill protecting gay folks from hate crimes, he said it's a slippery slope towards protecting "someone who likes to have sex with ducks." When they heard this quote, Riki Lindhome and Kate Micucci, who make up the group Garfunkel and Oates, made this hilarious pro-gay marriage music video, appropriately titled "Sex with Ducks," celebrating the hypothetical freedom to "quack that swan." So "put your beak in mine" and watch.

hes got skills with the sigs
That's pretty darn awesome....
I hate philthy. The teams, their fans, the city. I don't really mind the cowgurls, they're so dysfunctional I almost pity them. And the foreskins are just an afterthought.
what program do you guys use to make the sig? I tried to make one in Paint and it was just awful
I'd love to know a program to make gifs, while we're asking questions

The Hudson's Bay Company has bought Saks Fifth Avenue for $2.9 billion.
Both these stores are well-known across North America and the hope is that a partnership with the Canadian company will largely increase sales for Saks, as this luxury wear store suffered during the recession. It's no secret that Saks is for high-end shoppers; just the shoes alone represent originality and high class. Take the Isabella Fiore Voodoo Wedge as the perfect example of a shoe that makes a bold, flashy statement.
Hudson's Bay wants to keep Saks's top-of-the-line image, while also making the store more accessible to a larger audience. With seven typical Saks locations planned for Canada, Hudson's Bay also wants to open 25 discount Saks stores, giving more people a chance to have the elite 'Saks Shopper' title.
